For the next week or so, the Gateway will always connect to the seasonal 'Santa' away mission.

You FELL on my TRAP mister administrator. The Napier's constant or number E is an irrational number equal to 2.71828...(aprox) which is very very important alongside Pi in several mathematical Formulas such as the Eulers Identity.

I generally use this technique: What would i do? I am not antag in real life. Can i shoplift? Yes, i did that when i was a kid. You can compare it to stealing some meds from medbay fridge or insulated gloves from engineering. Would i, when bored, drive to nearby police station, ram wall and steal their guns? Certainly not. Neither would i go to clinic and steal last cancer treatment research data. Or poison food in grocery store. And so on. Anyway, while case described by tongoe is pretty clear, there are indeed situations which are not completely covered (super rare but still) server rules. And ahelp system helps greatly in such cases.

I would wake up in my bloody kitchen, and never cook hotdogs ever again. Never ask the Chef where the meat comes from. Never.

It would be really nice if some of the rules had spoilers which included some examples of the rule in practice, or simply a deeper explanation. I'll make an example from my point of view. I was playing a round as a station engineer (non antag), everything was quiet and code green was active. I thought I could maybe get a hardsuit and break into the armory or security locker room to get some toys. I decided it would be a good idea to read up on the rules, the only rules I could find related to this idea were these two, 1. Actively diverting Security personnel and resources away from an active and direct Antagonist threat in order to deal with you and your actions will be considered Self-Antagging; 2. Breaking people out of the Security Brig area is allowed as a Non-Antagonist to the extent of minor damage to the station. Releasing anyone from the Permabrig as a Non-Antagonist requires Administrator permission; I assumed that would mean I couldn't do it in code blue/red, but I adminhelped and he said it would be self antagging in green as well. How would I have known this as a new player without admin helping? It's really cumbersome to have to resort to adminhelp for every little thing because you're afraid of being banned for something that isn't properly written out in the ruleset.

If we get overly specific in the rules it implies that things left out are ok, so we try to keep it generic. That and our rules are already huge - we don't want to scare people off from the server by making them read a george rr martin book of rules. In general, self antagging means doing things an antag would do. Breaking into the armoury is a great example there. Crimes that make it harder for otherpeople to do their job are also best avoided. Stealing vital tools or the like is an example there. In general crimes should be rp'd. People won't risk a permabrig sentence because they're bored. Another good rule of thumb is - "what if everyone acted like this". If everyone stole some gloves or hacked a door in maint, no biggie. If everyone tried to break into security, every round, sec would be overwhelmed. Remember you are not the only player on the server, so don't act like a protagonist. The round isn't just your story.

CSI Cyberiad That's how you solve crimes, lads.

I'm confused, are you counting 5 or 4? Doesn't matter now.

You rolled a natural 20! DOS!

You weren't the only one. Same Janitor got blown up by a holo like 5 times, each time, Karri collected limbs, dragged to Robotics, and helped put them back together X

From the same rule you quoted: There is literally no justification ICly, as a non antag, for stealing weapons on code green. To add to that, breaking into a secure weapons armory is nowhere near considered 'minor criminal activity'. I don't think I need to explain why that's not 'minor criminal activity'. While not everything in the armory is an antagonist objective (the ablative vest is) stealing guns and other such important items also falls under this little bit. Whereas engineering can just print off, say, a welding tool if you stole that, security cannot quite so easily secure additional energy weapons without at least a three minute time limit, factoring in the time it would take to order and collect items from cargo, if other complications don't arise in the process. Weapons are also used in emergency situations. If anything requiring lethal force attacks, you've just screwed security in most scenarios, especially during code green when security isn't usually armed to the teeth already.

These pictures and their stories are fantastic and make me wanna try to play and see if I can recapture the magic again...

It's 4am and I just got back from watching the new starwars, yeehaw. I managed to do this before I left, Katlyn! They're a good Captain. I see them on often leading the cyberiad, and they always seem to do a competent job with it Being a good captain is hard, so doing it well is something that should be commended. But, should we really expect any less from Nanotrasens finest? ...Gosh I should sleep.

Uh... Well Egg was a clown that only said the word egg. He was lost to the badmins after the great nest attack of 2018. That's all I can tell you without being assassinated.

is very good arts

Bad Spark! Uno!

'Xuqril', 'Krill' or 'Xu' for really close friends I've played on /tg/ and goon before coming to paradise, and I think I've found my home. I like me some roleplay and the variety in the antagonists and station jobs as well as the things to do after death and the actual built-out lore really make paradise my favourite so far. This station has dragged me out of my comfort zone of playing medical and really taught me how to engineer, thanks for that! Currently learning science and every now and again I'll play sec, miner or service. If you see a blue skrell with orange eyes and tattoos walking around the hallways, that's me! Oh and I know Skrell anatomy is difficult for other races, but Krill is most definitely female. Just saying it here because the amount of times people assumed I was a dude... See you on the Cyberiad!
